Read the Review Below,
One of the best airguns in the world just got better Mat Manning puts the new Weihrauch HW100 X to the test… Any new airgun release from Weihrauch tends to cause a lot of excitement, and the HW100X is no exception. The Weihrauch HW100 is widely regarded as one of the best PCP airguns in the world – so a new version is a very big deal indeed. Distributed in the UK by Hull Cartridge, the Weihrauch HW100X has a recommended retail price of £1,440. That is pushing into what I regard as the territory of high-end airguns, and I have heard one or two critics suggesting that it’s a little expensive. However, having used the HW100X for a couple of weeks, I think the renements made to this version of the HW100 amount to something very special – and, when you compare it with other airguns in the same price bracket, the new Weihrauch’s price tag is more than justi ed. One of the big upgrades on the HW100X is that, thanks to a very e cient regulator and a new and improved cylinder, it delivers signi cantly more shots per ll than previous models. It also happens to be lighter. The version featured here is the Sporter Laminate Adjustable launch model, which weighs a very manageable 3.4kg. This model is just under 1050mm long with the supplied silencer tted and about 880mm long without it. I really like the stock, which – apart from looking great – has also been designed for functionality, and results in an extremely well-balanced gun. Thoughtful stock design with adjustability for re ned gun t The laminate pattern gives this airgun a very distinctive look and its colour swatch looks very at home in the British countryside. Its long forend will accommodate a wide variety of hold styles and is enhanced by a groove that runs along both sides of the forward section. It even has a rail with MLOK slots sunken into its underside as well as a thread for bipod or sling attachment. There are panels of really crisp stippling on both sides of the lower part of the forend. There is also similar stippling on both sides of the pistol grip – and what a great grip it is. Suitable for a thumb-up or thumb-around hold, the HW100X’s pistol grip lls the palm very nicely and is really steep, which I certainly appreciated as it set me up very well for the trigger. At the rear of the stock, you have a height-adjustable butt pad. The rubber pad is ventilated, has a bit of squishiness to it and feels great in the shoulder. Even more signi cantly, though, this stock features a height-adjustable cheekpiece – a very nice touch indeed. It has a neat push-button mechanism; give the button a press and the cheekpiece shifts up and down, then release it and it locks solidly in position. The result is perfect eye-scope alignment, whatever height mounts you are using. Again, I have seen a few purists bemoaning the fact that the cheekpiece is made from polymer and not the same laminate as the rest of the stock. I don’t see that as a problem, it still matches the overall aesthetic of the HW100X, and it feels very solid – unlike some of the cheap plastic cheekpiece arrangements out there. Below: An adjustable butt pad and cheekpiece means there is no compromise on eye alignment with the HW100 XTwo scope mounting options and an e ective sound suppressor Returning to the subject of scope-mounting, the HW100X features the usual dovetail scope rail that most of us would associate with Weihrauch airguns. However, it also comes supplied with a removable Picatinny rail. It has three fastening points for super-secure attachment and provides a very useful Picatinny mounting option with about 170mm of uninterrupted clamping space. This feature will be particularly useful when attaching night vision optics with integral mounts and should also prove popular with shooters who have a preference of Picatinny-type mounts. As I would expect from Weihrauch, the build quality of the HW100X is excellent. The nish is absolutely awless wherever you look, and it feels rock solid. With the general standard of airgun build quality across the board seeming rather more imsy than it was a few years ago, the robustness of this one, along with its precision German engineering, is very reassuring. My old Weihrauch HW100 has given years of dependable service with very little maintenance (as has my HW95K) and I get the impression that this Weihrauch has been built to the same uncompromising standards. The model featured here has a 410mm (16in) barrel which has a half-inch UNF thread for silencer attachment. The supplied Weihrauch High E ciency silencer does a brilliant job of keeping the HW100X very quiet and I can’t imagine many shooters feeling the need to change it for anything else. Super-crisp trigger and proven magazine-fed loading Apart from solid build quality, Weihrauch also has a reputation for making good trigger mechanisms, and the two-stage unit on this airgun is just brilliant. The blade is very gently curved and is nice and wide, which means it transmits plenty of feel. The mechanism is adjustable for length and weight of pull but, as ever, I tested it on its factory setting to give you an idea of what to expect straight from the box. First stage weight and travel felt just right and concluded in a very clear stop which was followed by a totally creep-free second stage break. The second stage felt relatively light and short but, thanks to its excellent engineering, it still delivered a crisp and utterly predictable shot release. I felt no need whatsoever to make any adjustment to this trigger setup. The safety catch is sensibly positioned away from the trigger blade towards the rear of the action. There is actually a switch on each side to facilitate ambidextrous operation. I like the fact that it can’t be moved when the gun is not cocked, so it’s a good way to check. Positive and very quiet in operation, it is safe when in the backward position and you simply push it forward when you’re ready to take the shot.The HW100X runs what I think is one of the best airgun magazines out there. It’s really easy to load: just push pellets in nose- rst from the side with the cog in the centre. The mechanism is so basic that there’s virtually nothing that can go wrong on it. Nonetheless, it works with absolute precision. You get two magazines supplied and each holds 14 shots whether you go for .177 or .22 calibre. Push back the retainer switch in order to remove the magazine and then return it to its forward position (to engage a pin that keeps everything perfectly aligned) after you slot it back in. High performance regulator and increased ll pressure The tried and tested magazine is driven by an extremely slick sidelever action, which comes supplied with a detachable biathlon-type dropdown handle but can’t be reversed for lefthanded operation. The magazine and lever work together like clockwork – it is an utterly dependable mechanism, delivering quick and reliable cocking and loading shot after shot. It’s great for fast reloading on the range and even better when you need a rapid follow-up shot in the eld. The HW100X has a new ultra-e cient regulator and a high-grade aluminium cylinder. The new cylinder is removable and brings a signi cant weight saving – 360g on the standard model and 240g on the carbine. Maximum ll pressure has also been increased to 250 bar. Pressure inside the cylinder is displayed on a very clearly marked gauge. Although that gauge is positioned at the front of the cylinder, it can easily be read from a sideways angle – so you don’t have to put your face in front of the dangerous end to check your air reserves. The new regulator is denitely doing its job in terms of consistency. The sub-12 .177 calibre model I was sent to test was running at 11.5ft/lb and shot to shot variation was staying within four feet per second over a ten-shot string. The combination of a very e cient regulator and increased air pressure also means that the HW100X delivers considerably more shots per ll than its predecessor – up to 90 percent more, in fact! You can expect the standard model to return 210 shots per ll in .177 calibre and as many as 250 in .22. When it is time to re ll, simply remove the plug from the inlet at the front of the cylinder and plug in the supplied quick ll probe. One important thing to note is that you need to remove the cylinder from the gun the rst time you ll it – unless it has already been lled. This is only a one-time job though, and the cylinder can stay in situ for re lling thereafter. Below: The Weihrauch HW100 X has a maximum ll pressure of 250 bar – pressure inside the cylinder is displayed on an easy-to-read gaugePinpoint accuracy and easy handling for versatile hunting As for shooting performance and accuracy, I have a Weihrauch HW100 of my own which is almost ten years old. It is a very accurate airgun, but the HW100X feels much more rened and is denitely more accurate – its super-consistent power output is no doubt contributing to that. Match it with the right pellet (the test gun had a liking for H&N Baracuda 8) and it’s a pellet-on-pellet gun at 30m. Shooting o the bench, it’s still a single-holer at 40m and grouping remains very tight at 50m.

At the centre of the Weihrauch HW100X KT Karbine Thumbhole Synthetic Black Adjustable, an upgraded pressure regulator has been incorporated to improve consistency throughout the usable air supply.
Unlike traditional unregulated pneumatic systems, regulated PCP technology is designed to maintain a more stable operating pressure. Consequently, variations in pellet velocity may be reduced, and shot-to-shot consistency can be improved.
Additionally, the regulator has been integrated into the rifle’s valve assembly, allowing controlled air delivery during operation.
For precision-focused shooters, consistent air delivery is particularly valuable. More predictable shooting characteristics can be achieved when suitable ammunition and correct operating procedures are used.
As a result, the rifle offers an excellent platform for target practice and the development of repeatable shooting techniques.
An improved aluminium air cylinder has been introduced into the HW100X series to increase shooting capacity while reducing overall rifle weight.
The upgraded cylinder has been designed for a maximum filling pressure of 250 bar. Moreover, Weihrauch reports a weight reduction of approximately 240 grams for the carbine configuration compared with the previous design.
Importantly, the manufacturer has also developed the new system to provide substantially more shots per fill.
Therefore, longer shooting sessions can be enjoyed without the need for frequent cylinder refilling.
An integrated pressure gauge is provided for convenient pressure monitoring. Likewise, a quick-fill arrangement allows the cylinder to be replenished using compatible PCP charging equipment.
Together, these improvements contribute to an efficient, practical, and modern pneumatic platform.
The Weihrauch HW100X KT Karbine Thumbhole Synthetic Black Adjustable has been equipped with a modern black synthetic stock developed for comfort, durability, and practical everyday use.
Its attractive black finish is complemented by soft grey grip inserts, creating a distinctive appearance while enhancing handling comfort.
Unlike traditional timber stocks, synthetic construction is generally less sensitive to moisture-related dimensional changes. Therefore, the rifle is particularly well suited to shooters who prefer a practical, low-maintenance stock material.
Furthermore, the thumbhole design provides a natural gripping position, allowing the rifle to be supported comfortably during deliberate shooting.
The fore-end has been shaped to promote a secure supporting grip, while the overall stock geometry encourages controlled handling.
As a result, a comfortable shooting position can be established during recreational practice, supported target shooting, and other permitted activities.
An adjustable buttplate has been incorporated into the black synthetic stock, providing additional flexibility for individual shooters.
Both height and lateral adjustments are supported by the manufacturer’s design. Consequently, the contact position against the shoulder can be customised to better suit different body dimensions and shooting preferences.
In addition, the ambidextrous stock configuration makes the rifle suitable for right-handed and left-handed users.
This adaptability is particularly useful when equipment is shared between appropriately trained shooters.
The adjustable buttplate should not be confused with the adjustable cheekpiece found on certain other HW100X stock variants; Weihrauch specifically identifies buttplate adjustment for the black synthetic version.
The Karbine configuration has been developed to offer compact proportions without compromising the premium engineering associated with the Weihrauch HW100 family.
Compared with a full-length rifle, the shorter configuration can be easier to transport, position, and manage in confined shooting areas.
Furthermore, the carefully balanced construction allows the rifle to be handled with confidence during supported or standing practice.
The HW100 X KT configuration is listed by Weihrauch UK with a 31 cm barrel, an approximate overall length of 95.5 cm, and a weight of approximately 2.9 kg for its listed configuration.
These specifications may vary slightly according to the exact market version, fitted equipment, and accessories.
A precision-manufactured barrel is fitted to support accurate and repeatable pellet placement.
Combined with the regulated PCP action, the barrel forms an important part of the rifle’s consistency-focused design.
Additionally, the pneumatic operating system produces a smooth firing cycle with minimal mechanical vibration compared with conventional spring-powered air rifles.
Consequently, sight alignment and follow-through can be maintained more comfortably during practice.
Nevertheless, actual accuracy will depend on pellet compatibility, shooting conditions, optics, maintenance, and the shooter’s technique.
The Weihrauch HW100X KT Karbine Thumbhole Synthetic Black Adjustable features a rotary magazine system with a 14-pellet capacity.
Its multi-shot arrangement has been developed to provide convenient ammunition handling during supervised target sessions and other lawful shooting activities.
Furthermore, the side-lever mechanism allows the action to be operated smoothly without requiring the barrel to be broken open.
A biathlon-style lever option is also associated with the updated HW100X platform, offering an alternative operating handle configuration.
The magazine system has been designed around dependable mechanical operation. As a result, a convenient and repeatable loading process can be maintained when the rifle is used correctly.
A premium two-stage match trigger is included as standard.
This trigger system has been designed to provide a distinct first stage followed by a controlled release at the second stage.
Moreover, the adjustable mechanism allows trigger characteristics to be configured according to manufacturer guidance and individual preferences.
For precision target shooters, a predictable trigger release can contribute to improved shooting consistency.
In addition, a manual safety mechanism has been incorporated into the rifle’s operating system.
Safe handling practices must always be followed regardless of the safety mechanism’s position.
The Weihrauch HW100X KT has been designed primarily for use with compatible optical sights.
An 11 mm dovetail mounting arrangement is supported, while Picatinny mounting can be accommodated through the appropriate rail arrangement.
Consequently, compatible air rifle scopes can be selected according to the intended shooting discipline and personal preferences.
For recreational target shooting, a clear optic with a suitable reticle and adjustable focus may provide a comfortable viewing experience.
Furthermore, compatible protective scope covers and properly fitted mounting hardware can help preserve equipment condition.
Any accessories should be selected according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Routine inspection and appropriate maintenance are essential for preserving the rifle’s operating condition.
The synthetic stock can generally be cleaned using a soft cloth and suitable non-abrasive cleaning products. Similarly, exposed metal surfaces should be protected against unnecessary moisture and contamination.
Additionally, air-cylinder seals, filling equipment, magazines, and mechanical components should be inspected according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
Only approved charging equipment and appropriate compressed-air sources should be used.
Servicing of the high-pressure pneumatic system should be carried out by qualified technicians.
With appropriate care, the Weihrauch HW100X KT provides a high-quality platform designed for long-term recreational and sporting use.

Choosing the right gamo air rifle depends on how the rifle will be used, the preferred caliber, the powerplant, and the shooter’s experience level. Gamo produces a broad range of recreational, target, and sporting airguns, so buyers searching for a gamo pellet gun, gamo air rifles, or a traditional gamo pellet rifle can compare several operating systems before deciding which configuration best fits their needs.
One of the most familiar designs is the break barrel air rifle. This platform remains popular because it combines straightforward operation with a self-contained powerplant. Shooters comparing high powered air rifles or a high power air rifle should consider much more than headline velocity. Pellet weight, caliber, barrel length, trigger quality, consistency, and shooting conditions all affect practical performance.
Models chambered as a gamo 177 configuration are frequently selected for target shooting and recreational use because .177 pellets generally offer a flatter trajectory than heavier calibers. Likewise, a gamo break barrel rifle provides the simplicity many shooters want without the need for a separate compressed-air charging system.
People researching the best air rifles frequently encounter spring-powered and gas-piston break-barrel platforms. Search terms such as brake barrel bb gun are also common, although pellet rifles and BB guns are technically different categories and may use different ammunition and barrel designs.
Compact airguns include the break barrel pellet pistol, break barrel air pistol, and break barrel pistol. Larger-caliber searches may include a 22 caliber break barrel air pistol, while buyers may also look for a break action pellet pistol, the best break barrel pellet pistol, or a 22 pellet pistol for recreational shooting.
Power-oriented shoppers sometimes search for the most powerful break barrel pellet gun. However, raw velocity should never be the only specification considered. Accuracy, appropriate ammunition, safe handling, and local laws are equally important. A phrase such as bee bee gun pistol may be used informally by shoppers, but users should confirm whether a particular handgun actually fires steel BBs, lead pellets, or another compatible projectile.
Gamo’s magazine-fed break-barrel systems have helped popularize multi-shot operation in a category that historically required a pellet to be loaded manually after every shot.
The gamo swarm magnum 10x gen3i is closely associated with this concept, while searches for the gamo swarm magnum, gamo swarm maxxim gen 3, and swarm magnum gen3i reflect interest in different Swarm generations and configurations. Another commonly researched model is the gamo swarm magnum pro 10x gen3i.
The broader gamo magnum gen3i category appeals to shooters who want high-energy break-barrel performance together with magazine-fed convenience. Gamo’s multi-shot technology is also frequently found through searches for gamo 10x, multi shot pellet gun, gamo swarm, gamo swarm 10x, and pellet gun with magazine.
A magazine system can make repeated target sessions more convenient because pellets can be prepared before shooting begins. Nevertheless, users should always verify magazine compatibility, pellet length, pellet diameter, and model generation before ordering replacements.
Shooters interested in pre-charged pneumatic technology may encounter the gamo arrow range. The gamo arrow pcp combines a PCP powerplant with a lightweight sporting format, while the full term gamo arrow pcp air rifle is commonly used when comparing it with conventional spring or gas-piston rifles.
Related searches include pcp arrow guns, arrow rifle, pcp arrow gun, arrow rifles, and arrow air rifle. These phrases generally reflect interest in compact PCP-style sporting rifles rather than traditional break-barrel platforms.
Caliber-specific buyers may search for a gamo arrow .22, while the gamo arrow classic may appeal to shooters looking for another Arrow-series configuration.
PCP technology uses stored compressed air rather than relying on a spring or piston being compressed for each shot. This can produce a smooth firing cycle, reduced mechanical movement, and consistent shot-to-shot performance when the rifle is properly filled and maintained.
A pcp air rifle uses a reservoir filled with high-pressure air. PCP stands for precharged pneumatic, and the technology is widely used in modern sporting and precision airguns.
Searches for pcp air rifles, pcp rifle, pcp guns, pcp rifles, and pcp air gun generally refer to this same basic operating principle. Some buyers describe the platform as an air rifle compressed air system, while others search for a pcp pellet rifle or use the reversed phrase rifle pcp.
PCP rifles usually require additional filling equipment such as a suitable hand pump, compressor, or certified high-pressure cylinder. Users should follow the manufacturer’s recommended fill pressure because overfilling a reservoir can be unsafe and may also reduce performance.
A common beginner question is what is a gas piston air rifle. Instead of using a traditional coiled steel spring, a gas-piston system compresses gas inside a sealed cylinder. When the trigger is released, the piston moves rapidly and compresses air behind the pellet.
Other mechanical airgun designs include under lever air rifles, the singular underlever air rifle, and the alternative spelling under lever air rifle. In these designs, a separate lever positioned beneath the barrel is used to cock the mechanism.
Shooters may also research a side lever air gun or side lever air rifle, where the cocking lever operates from the side of the receiver. These fixed-barrel layouts can provide a different shooting experience compared with conventional break-barrel systems.
Search terms such as lever action pellet gun, air gun thumb lever, and lever action air rifle can refer to several different mechanisms, so buyers should check the specific manufacturer’s action type rather than assuming every lever-operated airgun works identically.
Long-running Gamo product lines continue to generate searches including gamo shadow 1000, shadow 1000 gamo, and gamo 1000 shadow. Another associated search phrase is 1000/4.5, which is often used by shoppers researching 4.5 mm or .177-class air rifles.
Velocity-focused buyers may also search for a gamo 1800 fps air rifle. Advertised velocity can vary according to pellet composition and weight, so actual shooting performance may differ when standard lead pellets are used.
Likewise, shoppers researching gamo 1800 fps air rifle price should compare the exact model number, caliber, powerplant, bundled optic, warranty, and regional specification rather than relying solely on a velocity figure.
Other unusual search terms such as shotgun pellet gun may describe an airgun with styling inspired by a shotgun rather than a conventional pellet rifle. Searches for pellet guns that can kill should be approached from a safety perspective: airguns are not toys, and even relatively modest-powered models can cause severe or fatal injuries. Every airgun should therefore be handled with the same disciplined muzzle and trigger control expected of potentially dangerous sporting equipment.
The air pistol category includes many different operating systems, and modern air pistols may use springs, gas pistons, CO2 cartridges, or pre-charged pneumatic reservoirs.
For pellet-firing handguns, common searches include pellet pistols, pellet pistol, pistol pellet gun, pellet handgun, pellet gun pistol, pellet gun pistols, pistol air, and air pellet pistol.
CO2-powered handguns form another major category. A co2 pistol typically uses a disposable carbon-dioxide cartridge to propel BBs or pellets. Buyers may also search for pistol co2, co2 pistols, or the commonly mistyped c02 pistol.
Related searches include co2 air pistols, co2 gun, c02 guns, guns co2, and co 2 gen. Regardless of spelling, the key consideration is ammunition compatibility and the correct cartridge type specified by the manufacturer.
CO2 performance can be affected by ambient temperature because pressure changes as the cartridge becomes warmer or colder. For that reason, shooters should expect some variation in velocity during different environmental conditions.
Precision shooting requires appropriate targets and a safe backstop. A 10m rifle is generally associated with structured 10-meter air-rifle shooting, where accuracy, repeatability, shooting position, and trigger control are emphasized.
Recreational shooters may use pellet gun targets, while rifle users commonly search for air rifle targets, targets for air rifle, and airgun targets. The term air gun targets is another broad variation covering both rifle and pistol applications.
Dedicated practice setups can include air rifle shooting targets and airgun shooting targets designed to provide clear aiming points and easy scoring. Depending on the shooting discipline, an air rifle target may use small scoring rings intended for precision practice.
Handgun shooters may choose air pistol targets, whereas a pellet rifle target should be paired with a backstop capable of safely containing the pellets used by the particular rifle.
Regular airgun maintenance helps preserve reliability, accuracy, and safe function. Although airguns generally require less bore cleaning than many powder-burning firearms, seals, external metalwork, fasteners, magazines, and moving components still need periodic inspection.
A pellet rifle cleaning kit can contain cleaning rods, pull-through systems, suitable patches, and other airgun-safe tools. Likewise, a pellet gun cleaning kit can help remove accumulated debris when cleaning is genuinely required.
Proper air gun maintenance also involves checking stock screws, inspecting seals, keeping optics securely mounted, and following the manufacturer’s lubrication guidance. Excessive oil should be avoided because unsuitable lubricants can damage seals or cause unwanted combustion inside some spring-piston airguns.
For PCP equipment, reservoir condition, fill fittings, O-rings, and pressure gauges should also be inspected periodically. Magazine-fed models should be kept clean so pellets feed smoothly without deformation.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on the intended use. A traditional break-barrel rifle offers simplicity, a Gamo Swarm platform adds multi-shot convenience, and a PCP system provides a smoother firing cycle with an external filling requirement. Comparing caliber, powerplant, ergonomics, ammunition, maintenance demands, and safe target equipment makes it much easier to select an airgun that delivers dependable performance for responsible recreational or target shooting.

Calibers: Most common are .177 (4.5mm) for speed/flat trajectory and general use, and .22 (5.5mm) for better hunting knockdown power. Larger “big bore” (.25, .30, .357+) exist for hunting bigger game where legal.
Yes, many modern PCP and springers deliver enough energy for small game (rabbits, squirrels, birds) and even larger game in some areas. Muzzle energy (in ft-lbs or joules) matters more than velocity alone. Always match caliber, pellet weight, and energy to the game and check local hunting regs.
Treat every airgun as if it is loaded.
Follow these rules strictly—airguns cause real injuries.
Laws differ dramatically by country, state/province, and even city. Always verify current local laws before buying, owning, transporting, or using an airgun. Age restrictions (often 18+) are common.
Examples (summaries only; check official sources):
Resources: Wikipedia “Air gun laws”, airgun forums, or official government sites. For travel, research transit laws carefully.
Consider:
Buy from reputable dealers and consider warranties.
Follow your model’s manual. Basic care extends life significantly.
Pellets are the most common projectile (lead or lead-free). Match them to your gun, caliber, and purpose—test several brands as accuracy varies by barrel.
Tips: Heavier pellets in .22/.25 for hunting (better momentum). Lighter in .177 for speed/flat trajectory. Always check head size fit (e.g., 4.51-4.53mm variants).
Muzzle energy (ft-lbs or joules) matters more than velocity. Ethical shots require precise placement (head/heart-lung) within effective range.
Rough Guidelines (adjust for distance, pellet, and local laws):
PCPs dominate serious hunting due to power and shot count. Springers/gas rams work well for small game but require skill. Always prioritize clean kills and check seasons/species rules.

Budget Tip: Start with a quality springer (~$150-400) before investing in PCP setup.
Airgunning offers endless depth—from backyard plinking to precision competition and ethical hunting. Prioritize safety, legality, and practice. If you want specifics (e.g., recommendations for a country, budget, hunting small game, or a particular type like PCP vs springer), let me know for more targeted info! Shoot responsibly.
Tuning improves accuracy, reduces noise/recoil, or increases power (within legal limits).
Caution: Check laws—power increases may reclassify your gun. DIY only if experienced; professional tuners recommended.
